Guide to Synergizing Varus and Rumble

Tips for Playing as Varus with Rumble

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Understand How Rumble Will Play

Try and keep targets in the range of your Flamespitter. It can deal a lot of damage overtime.

If you are winning a fight you can use your ultimate to wall off an escape path.

Try and pace yourself to stay in the Danger Zone to maximize your effectiveness. It is easy to overheat if you rapidly use your abilities.
